I’ve been wondering if I should even tell you about the
b!tch fight I had this morning with a NASTY woman at Target…who had the nerve
to call me an animal since I didn’t realize she was crawling on the ground
reaching for a Lilly Pulitzer deck umbrella.
But, hey, why not. We’re all
friends here, right? I got up early like
all good Lilly aficionados to stand on line outside my local Target (and by
local. I mean LOCAL – not even one whole song on the radio local). The line was full of jovial women in good
spirits; eager to get their Lilly on. I
waited about 15 minutes, proceeded to follow my strategy of accessories,
children’s, beauty accessories and then home goods.
At home goods, I was reaching for a set of wine glass tags when this woman
yelled – to no one in particular, I thought – to move out of her way. I realized there was a woman on the ground
trying to pull a large item from the bottom shelf of the display. Of course I moved out of the way and probably
excused myself, not realizing I had gotten all up in her jam. She then carried the giant thing to her cart
and said something quite loudly under her breath about me being an animal. Deep cleansing breath. Another deep cleansing breath. I walked back over to her and said, “We’re
all having fun here this morning. You just
need to be nice.” Obviously, I’ve spent
too much time as a teacher, because any other sane person would have told the
woman exactly where to go and how to get there.
She proceeded to raise her voice and tell me how rude I was. Me!
And then. This
happened. This really happened.
She said, “If you could afford the real thing, you wouldn’t
be here. Wannabe!”
All I could say was, “You’re here too!” As if I was some slug of the earth by waiting
on line at Target to get Lilly Pulitzer designed for Target at Target
prices. And she was ahead of me on the
line! Buying the same cut-rate Lilly I
was buying! She then went on to continue
calling me rude and I reminded her once or twice more that she was in exactly
the same place I was. And all I wanted
was for her to be NICE. Like every other
person in the store was this morning. But
no, she had to call me out for standing in a place where I couldn’t even see
her. But I’m a wannabe. I guess because I actually WAS in the Lazy
Daisy in Vero Beach three days ago, I deserve to have some miserable
***censored*** tell me anything about what I can and cannot afford. Of course I could not afford to buy what I
bought this morning at actual Lilly retail.
But I want to point out: SHE WAS THERE TOO! And, I’m nice. And I don’t need to say sh!tty stuff to
people to feel better about myself. (And,
for the record, I started my Lilly collection about 17 years ago when the brand
re-launched after being on hiatus for a while.
True that I’ve never paid full retail – but I don’t pay full retail for
anything. And let’s just say that if I
were 50 lbs lighter, I’d have a significant assortment of fabulous Lilly things
to wear on a regular basis. Am I
over-compensating here? Maybe. But, please, IRONY!)
So I’m just going to say that I won Target this morning and
that despicable troll can just go back to her superior cave and grow some moss
where she belongs. And, as a friend (shout out!!!) pointed out, we're all animals. At least I'm housebroken!
